Windows 10: want to create a shortcut for ' create restore point'

want to create a shortcut for ' create restore point'. managed to find the ' use a restore point file' but this only allows restoration from a restore point not. relation of one.
i know there a few ways to do this, but want to put a link on my start menu.

cant be difficult, just that after no end of searching can't find an answer.

I created an auto create restore point in task scheduler....by clicking on create a simple task, should I then delete the one in MS/Windows called RS ..? or is it ok to have both ? I am told that the MS one does not back up every time there is a startup, which is what I want...

thanks in advance

:)

 

How to Create a Restore Point for Windows Mobile 7

Nope. Not at this point. The 'restore point' functionality is tied to updates at this point, and not directly user initiatable. Maybe that will change at some point, but not today. Just got a new upgrade today, BTW. The little one that fixes the bogus
certificate issue, and that prompted a backup on my machine, so I would expect that will be the norm.

 

How to Create a Restore Point for Windows Mobile 7

I see that I have a restore point (http://www..com/examples/2011/20110511-windows-mobile-7.asp) and it looks like it was created before the
last upgrade. However, in case this upgrade does not create a restore point, is there a way to create one before I install this new update?

 

Hello reddwarf4ever,

If you like, you can also use the "Create Restore Point" shortcut in the tutorial below in Windows 10 as well. *Smile

System Restore Point Shortcut - Windows 7 Help Forums

 

thanks, tried option 4 restore point with description and success message..

copied unzipped folder to c program files, but it is called restore point message shortcut copied the actual shortcut to the desktop but it flashes and no message or naming option....and no restore points showing in system restore......
dont understand how it works so can't try and fix it...
wondered if I could find a file in system32 which equates to create system restore point and create a shortcut from there...
thanks

 

I'll have to create one for Windows 10, and I'll update you with it here.

It's not running, because it checks to see what OS your running, and cancels because Windows 10 is not in the list yet.

 

yes the shortcut points to this exactly.....is it possible the vbs code is different for W10 ?

 

Here's the Windows 10 version. *Smile

thank you so much for doing that, hopefully others will benefit also

 

You're most welcome. I hope so as well. *Smile

 

Working well thanks, but for some reason i cant right click on this shortcut and pin to menu....

 

Unfortunately, you can only Quick Launch, assign a keyboard shortcut to, or move this shortcut to where you like for easy use. *Sad

 

Hi
is this shortcut different from others then ?, because I normally can do this....
thanks

 

Since it's a shortcut of a .vbs file it doesn't have "Pin to Start" by default.

If you like, you can open the Properties for the shortcut, and add explorer to the front like below to have "Pin to Start" available as a workaround. *Smile

explorer "%ProgramFiles%\Restore Point Message Shortcut\CreateRP-Success_Message.vbs"

 

says it's an invalid name...
